TEP Plus and Nexus 5x Woes

Recommended Posts

I have a Nexus 5x, Activated it today and it seems my TEP + on my iPhone 6s is gone.. It seems I cannot have the TEP + added back because the Nexus 5x 'is not compatible' with TEP +

 

Normally when I activate a Sprint phone like a LG G2 or a Galaxy S4 the TEP + will carry over. Which is what I want.

 

Now that I have the 5x the TEP + will not carry over and it appears there's a deadline before I can add TEP + otherwise I'll not be eligible anymore..

My iPhone 6s is a lease and I'd like to keep it protected with TEP (just in case) + as I've protected the 5X with the Nexus protect program..

 

Who can I contact to get this solved, maybe a workaround for now?

I've been a happy Sprint customer so far Coverage, Speed and got the Nexus 5x SIM UPS overnight for free to me..

 

Now just this one little issue. Any help would be great!

 

I love both Android and iOS which is why I have more than one device.

You cant have TEP on that phone because sprint does not have a way to to repair or exchange it through out inventory system since we dont carry it. When you add the iphone back ypu will have the option to add tep back if you do it through care or a store.

    • I was just in Greenwich, CT doing some shopping and naturally also doing some recording of cell sites in the background on Cellmapper. Specifically I was along Greenwich Ave which is the most dense part of the city. Verizon: Literally didn't work most of the time. Even though their coverage shows the entire city blanketed in 5GUW you'll only be on their nationwide 5G network or LTE if you're anywhere south of Lewis St. Regular 5G (non C-band) didn't work at all. I don't mean it was slow, I mean it didn't pass any data at all. When I opened Instagram it told me "No connection". In a store I was in I even overheard someone asking another shopper if they had service in the store. I immediately knew they were on Verizon. Switching to LTE gave me data although it was slow. In most stores I'd get speeds in the low teens, outside it'd go up to 40Mbps. Above Lewis St. my phone finally connected to n77. On n77 I was seeing ~180Mbps. It seems like the issue isn't backhaul, it's just that Verizon doesn't have any remaining capacity on the LTE side.   AT&T: AT&T was slow but didn't suffer from the same "No data connection" issue that Verizon did. Speeds were in the low teens most of the time and peaked around 50Mbps. My phone hopped between AT&T's nationwide 5G and LTE frequently much like Verizon. Also just like Verizon, north of Lewis St. I suddenly connected to 5G+ which gave me speeds just over 100Mbps. AT&T also at least one small cell along Greenwich Ave for additional capacity and coverage and it's doing wonders for their network in the area. I'd go as far as saying it's probably the only reason they're not in the same situation as Verizon.   T-Mobile: Not to sound like an ad for the company but I was really blown away by T-Mobile's performance here. T-Mobile is collocated on the same towers as Verizon and AT&T in the region but they have an extra site in the steeple a church along Greenwich Ave that they've upgraded with n41. As a result, T-Mobile not only has the strongest signal indoors and outdoors, they also have the fastest speeds by a long shot. Nowhere along the commercial strip did I drop below 500Mbps. Indoors I was seeing over 300Mbps and outdoors I peaked at over 600Mbps. For the sake of testing I switched my phone to LTE and saw speeds of 180Mbps indoors.  
    • This site, along with T-Mobile eNB 307360, don't have B41 live, but do have n41 live. Seems like the latest T-Mobile convert sites don't broadcast B41 at all.
